We booked an adult only supreme room but the adult only section was under renovation so they put us in another section. That should have been communicated to us. Booking speciality restaurant was a challenge because a lot of restaurants were closed. The main pool was in renovations and the adult only pool and beach had children present. We were attending a wedding and one of the guest was bit by a wild animal on reserve which was not pleasant but the resort did cover medical bill .

My first and last time at this property. As soon as I arrived to the property, I waited 2 hours just to get my room assigned to me. When I got to my room the bathroom had a really bad odor! I ask them 3 different times to help me change my room and that took another 5 hours. I had to request to speak to the manager. While changing my room, to my surprise a baby roach was running around the closet.(photos provided to manage), I was extremely disgusted. Another thing I dislike about this property was while walking on the property, there were several moments I had to take my shoes off to walk through a puddles of water, or take another path just to get where I was heading. I did meet an amazing staff member named Marco, extremely helpful and understanding.

Mixed Experience, but Worth It for the Food The room was average—not terrible, but nothing special. Unfortunately, during the last two days of our stay, the bathroom shower clogged and leaked water into the room, creating a mess. We had to call maintenance to fix it. On the bright side, the food was fantastic. If you love Mexican cuisine, this place delivers. The all-inclusive package gives you access to food all day with plenty of options to choose from. The water park was a highlight—lots of fun once you get there. However, navigating the resort felt like being in a giant maze. It’s easy to get lost, so be prepared to ask for directions. The cenotes and the little river were disappointing. I expected them to be better maintained, but the water looked dirty and uninviting. The resort grounds are beautiful, but the layout could use some improvement. Getting from one area to another often felt confusing and time-consuming. Staff were generally helpful, though not always easy to find when you needed assistance. Overall, it’s a decent place if you’re looking for great food and a fun water park experience. Just be ready for a few inconveniences along the way. We used Seek & Go for transportation to and from the airport. The service was excellent—punctual and professional. I definitely recommend them for airport transfers, though it’s on the pricier side.

Me encanto le doy un 10/10 es muy bueno para niños, mi niña de 8 años se lo disfruto mucho y esa era la idea, el parque de agua es bastante grande y comodo para todas las edades, hay muchos animales al rededor y eso nos gusto, el senote el agua esta super rica despues de haber recorrido en bisicleta al rededor de la naturaleza y sudado un poco el agua del senote te ayuda a refrescarte. Hay muchas areas en remodelacion q afectaban un poco pero pudimos fluir con eso pq quiere decir q estan tratando de hacer nuestra estadia mas bonita, el area del buffet es un poco pequeña y no es tan moderna pero estan remodelando otra area, en fin me encanto todo pq tiene 3 cosas en un solo lugar, te conectas con la naturaleza y tienes el senote, pero tambien tienes pisicina y playa.
